Does the MOSFET in Specna's have active breaking? Genuine question.

Not really - as a bottle of wine and a significant G&T later, I can't remember where I put it for safe keeping. *sigh*. Still the gun worked yesterday, albeit it sounded like a cat being swung by its tail - but I know that is down to the motor height and the gearbox maybe needing a shim.

Sorry I didn't get to put a face to your name again - or are you were avoiding me? 😜 Fantastic morning with the games working really well with the low numbers. First game of infected saw me as one of the zombies, so I felt great delight when I saw the fruit of my loins cowering in a tent... Just inside of my pew's "ow that hurts range" 😈. He was not best pleased when he found out it was me. LOL The Zone holding game in the morning was epic with the Blue team clearing us out of the first zone pretty quickly, for us to hold the second zone indefinitely. I suffered a knife kill in the first zone as I was hiding under a tarp, but one of my boots was poking out. Sad times - but I know the perpetrator and will get revenge. Me, and a couple of others were holding the second objective with the rest of the team forming a defensive line; and the poor medics running overtime to keep us in the game. I enjoyed very much taking out a Tree Wookie (not sure where I heard that first, but I'm using it from now on for Ghillies) who kept running down the same path to the same cover - must have been 5 times at least. LOL. He got me later though when I didn't feel a hit on my pouch from his pistol, so he shot me in the arse point blank. Fairs fair though. A bunch of rentals turned up in the afternoon who had a liberal attitude to hit taking - it certainly wasn't present in the morning - but with the overall numbers that low, it was easy enough to ignore and enjoy the games. Although some were a bit salty on both teams. The subsequent reversal of the zone game saw the Blues take an age to be routed from zone 1 (although they had a slightly easier job as it was a different part of the map to the morning which is harder to overrun). Pretty sure @RostokMcSpoonsand I exchanged a few kills too.... Not sure if he was one of those that lit me up as I tried to get to an extraction tent at one point. Literally got to within a few feet of the door when all hell broke loose in the form of full auto from what felt like half a dozen guns. Damn my choice of short sleeves LOL. L85 and Specna were my pews of choice, lending my SVU and Auto 9 to my buddy for his second serious outing of Airsoft after last weeks inauguration. His eldest had a DE Honey badger and I lent mine to his youngest. Good to see them enjoy the day too as they had only had a 2 hour session at a place in Reading which they apparently were not impressed with when it came to comparative organisation with Spec Ops. The SVU was shooting on the limit and apparently very accurately despite a weird malfunction with a mag not allowing the trigger to spring back, and I've discovered my L85 has a ridiculous rate of fire with the field chrono reading 35rps at one point on an 11.1 battery. This explains why I chomped through so many BBs. The Jerk Chicken and Burger lunch was awesome too - both helpings (sorry @RostokMcSpoonsLOL). According to the old smart watch I managed 12 miles yesterday, although 2 were walking someone else's dog and a significant amount of the rest was running, so I was amazed at how relatively fresh I was feeling this morning. It must be the new boots and lighter weight rig I got from the other threads. Either that or my fitness levels are increasing.

Would you fecking believe it..... I sit at my kitchen breakfast bar to do most things including working on my pews. I don't watch TV, but have a tablet on said counter to watch my plex server or YouTube etc..... This is charged through a quick detach magnetic charging cable. Guess what managed to catch, mid flight, the tiny spring? Yep.... My tablet's charging magnet. I was wondering why the battery was draining 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

That hop is currently sitting in the boy's M16..... It may well see its way back to my Specna as i learn more about hops and bucking. I agree too with the polymer. Often times I feel more secure with it's durability than I do with some of my all metal pews.

Happened this afternoon whilst rebuilding the boy's M16 gearbox for the umpteenth time. Don't know what it did, if anything, and the gun is working fine without it. Watched the little fucker fly off into the distance but have no idea where it bounced. Hey ho.

I hear ya brother. It's going to be hard to resist.

We'll see you there @RostokMcSpoons, bringing all of our pews minus the Rapax. 3 guests are in tow too. The boy is insisting I play at least one round with the Robocop gun 😎

I suggested a Cyma AK, but he wants to stick with M4 as his big brother has the DE904. I'm letting him use my upgraded C12 tomorrow as I'm taking the whole family to Spec Ops for the day. So we'll see how the chap gets on.

A pal's lad is wanting to get his first gun. Why thoughts on the reliability of this: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-sa-c17-core-tm-strike-industries-m-lok-handguard?pv=18311 Or https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-rock-river-arms-sa-c05-core-special-ops-carbine-rifle I love my c12, so thinking this is a safe bet. Cheers in advance.

May she rest in peace.

As a milwaukee using plumber, I approve this message.

Cheers ears. Wonder how it would look under my L85 🤣

Linky no worky.

Ffs 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Still, my little trick works on the Internet in general (I use Google calendar extensively and lack of dark mode on the desktop was doing my nut).

For those of you who are normal and like Dark Mode on most of your devices and screens..... you can force it in chrome for websites that don't have one like here3 (AFAIK). In google Chrome type "chrome://flags" in the address bar. Search for "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" and set it to enabled. It's experimental, and may affect other sites adversely, but easily turned off. You might even find some other useful features in there. You're all welcome. 😎

They can write any old shite in your T's & C's, but it can't absolve them from the Consumer Rights act and Sale of Goods act. Many places rely on people not knowing the rights they have - especially buying online.

Great minds....

Not noticeably in a day.

That's an easy one.... If Mrs McSpoon comes on a skirmish, you'll go on a power walk. I've been trying to persuade SWMBO to come for a day, but she steadfastly refuses. Which is a shame as I can think of few things as cathartic as shooting her repeatedly for a day 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That film was downright scary having watched it for the first time the other week.

Oh I'm planning on making a point out of it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

In homage to Team America (possibly one of the best films ever made) I call it "a Kim Jong Il moment" : I run a heating company with 4 or 5 underlings and some of the questions I get asked by them and customers beggers belief.

Oh dear that's not boding well for my retirement next year over there..... Perhaps I can change them 🤣🤣🤣

May, well not be enough... I got through 9 litres plus on Saturday, went for a notional pee once, and was still peeing treacle the next day. But it's not just the liquid you need to replace as @gavinkempsellsaid.
